An
Adjustable Objective is a feature on a scope that allows you to
correct for any parallax.Some of our scopes have an adjustable ring around the objective lens
housing (Ex. Shooter II Series), while others have a knob on the left side of
the turret housing (Ex. Mark III Series).Reducing parallax with an adjustable objective equates
to greater shot precision.

Coated
Optics

Lens
coatingsreduce the amount of light reflection allowing more
light to pass through the scope.The more light that a scope can take in, the brighter the targeted image
will be which is very important under low lighting conditions.Most NcSTAR scopes are
Fully Multi Coated to maximize light transmission.

Durable
Construction

NcSTAR scopes are designed to withstand the
toughest elements by using high quality aircraft grade aluminum with a
hard anodized finish, providing a surface that is virtually
rust and scratch proof.

Exit
Pupil

The
exit pupil in an optics system is the circular beam of
light being transmitted to your eye.To find the size of the exit for your scope or binoculars simply take the
diameter of the objective lens and divide it by the magnification. For example,
a 4x30 scope would have an exit pupil of 7.5mm (30 divided by 4
equals 7.5).The larger the
exit pupil is, in relation to the entrance pupil of the eye,
the brighter the image will be.

Eye Relief

Eye
relief is the distance between the shooters eye and the ocular
lens (eyepiece) in order to achieve a full field of view and a comfortable
aiming position.Some Scopes have
longer eye relief than others depending upon the application they are intended
for.A pistol, for example,
requires a scope with long or extended eye relief.With a magnum rifle, having a little
extra eye relief aids in the safety of the shooter’s eye.

Field of View
(FOV)

Field
of view for a scope or binoculars is the amount of area (in feet)
visible from left to right typically at 100 yards.At higher magnifications the field of
becomes more narrow.At low
magnifications the field of view is wider.For quick target acquisition at close range (under 100 yards) a very wide
field of view is desired requiring a scope with low magnification.

Magnification

Scope
magnification refers to the power size of the scope.For example on 4x30 scope the
magnification would be a 4 power.In this case the object that you are viewing will appear to be 4
times closer than with the naked eye.Lower powered scopes are most suitable
for close range shooting, while high powered scopes are better for long range
shooting.

Objective
Lens

The
objective lens is the front lens of the scope (lens closest
to the target).The diameter of
the objective lens is measured in millimeters.For example, on a 3-9x42 scope the
objective size is the represented just after the “x” in this case being 42
millimeters.Larger objectives,
such as a 50mm objective, allow for more light to pass through the scope
equating to a brighter image.The larger the objective the taller the mounting rings must be
also.

Ocular lens

The
ocular lens (eye piece) is the lens that you look through
to view your target.Most
ocular lens adjust in and out to sharpen the contrast of your reticle.Once set, you should not have to adjust
your reticle again.

Power
Ring

Variable powered scopes (Ex. 3-9x42) have a power
ring usually located directly in front of the ocular housing.By twisting the power ring you can
control the magnification setting.So on a 3-9x42 scope you can zoom from 3 to 9 power and anywhere in
between.On a fixed powered
scope, such as a 6x42, there will not be a power ring because the magnification
is permanently set at 6 power.

Windage/Elevation
Turret

The
windage turretcontrols the left to right movement of the
reticle, and is generally located on the right side of the scope.The elevation turretcontrols the up and down movement of the reticle, and is generally
located on the top of the scope.NcSTAR offers a variety of scopes in 1/2,
1/4, and 1/8 MOA adjustments so you can choose the
scope that’s right for you.
